1 John 5:15-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 And if we know that He hears us— whatever we request— we know that we have the requests which we have requested from Him.
But I Am Not Implying You Should Pray About a Sin Leading To Death
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall request, and He will give him life— for the ones sinning a sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death[a]. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

- 1 John 5:16 If John means physical death, any sin leading to this level of discipline from God could be in view, as in Act 5:5; 1 Cor 11:30. If John means spiritual, eternal death, some think he means the knowing and deliberate rejection of Christ, as in 2:19, 22, and Heb 6:4-6; 10:26-29.
